Hundreds of mourners have welcomed the body of Papa Wemba, one Africa’s best known singers, back to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
It was flown into the capital, Kinshasa, from Ivory Coast, where he died on Sunday after collapsing on stage in Abidjan.
Ivorian fans attended an all-night concert held in his honour in the city.
He is due to be buried on Tuesday after lying in state in a stadium in Kinshasa, on Monday.
After Papa Wemba’s coffin left the airport it was taken to a morgue, reports the BBC’s Poly Muzalia from Kinshasa.
